Turning QualiWare Data into Up-to-Date Business Insight with Power BI

In today’s data-hungry environment, leaders cannot afford to wait days—or even hours—for the information that drives strategy. When the Board wants to see risk exposure or a project sponsor needs progress metrics, the answer must be ready now. That is exactly what you gain when you connect QualiWare directly to Microsoft Power BI: up-to-date dashboards that raw business data into strategic decisions. This integration, created by the Product Management Team at CloseReach, is designed to deliver powerful business intelligence without the complexity typically associated with custom reporting solutions. 

Why Up-to-Date Visibility Belongs on Your Agenda 

  • Faster, Better Decisions 
    Executives see the latest organizational performance and trends in real-time.

  • Productivity Gains 
    Analysts spend their time interpreting data instead of reshaping spreadsheets. Automated data pulls remove repetitive, low-value tasks. 

  • Governance You Can Trust 
    Every chart links back to the source, so you always know who owns the data and when it was last validated. 

  • Enterprise-Wide Collaboration 
    Integrate Power BI inside of QualiWare—or share a full workspace in Microsoft Teams—so everyone works from the same single source of truth.
